Done (given that this is an IETF document, the fact that it’s based upon 
IETF-defined protocols is the default assumption, not an exception; moreover, 
the abstract also says that it’s based on RFC 8303, and so this IETF reference 
seems unnecessary).

Done (removed “TAPS” everywhere)

Changed to “library”

Agree, done - note that these are only a handful of occurrences (actually only 
the two you mention + what is now “Early message timeout notification”, as all 
others refer to other documents and hence carry the name that’s used there.
